You have to use the Apple ID email that was originally set up with the ipad.

  • Cannot be used to unlock this ipad

    HI, can you help me please , I am in trouble
    First I restored my IPAD 4 then the ipad request "activate ipad by icloud account" .Second i entered my ID apple and it said "
    "[email protected]" cannot be used to unlock this iPad.
    help me please

    Welcome to the Apple community Roan.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    i can't activate my iPad and I'm sure i am using the correct apple id and password but when i press net it says it cannot be used to unlock this

    You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase. 

  • "cannot be used to unlock this iPad" the owner of the Ipad is not present :( there's anything other way to open my ipad?

    Please help me

    Unfortunately no there isn't. That is the activation Lock feature of iOS 7 the purpose of which is to try to make it more difficult for people to steal and use iOS devices. Unless you can contact the previous owner and get their help erasing/unlocking the iPad, you are stuck with a useless device.
    The possibility does exist that you have a stolen iPad. If the sale was legitimate, the previous owner would have no reason to not erase it for you. Just my own personal opinion ....

  • Icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    Hi I previously managed to set-up my iphone then lock it out by entering my passcode incorrectly too many times.  In the end I have to restore the phone via itunes (which took 3 hrs)!.
    I'm now trying to reset-up the phone, when I turned it on it remembered the previous icloud account the phone had been set-up with however it would not accept the password.  Its now saying this icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone.
    When i log into the same icloud account on the PC, the password works, however the find my iphone doesn't show this iphone as being connected.
    Any ideas on who I can get this iphone working again.
    Thanks Sadie

    You cannot Bypass the iPhone Activation Process.
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • "cannot be used to unlock this iphone"

    Hi,
    i restore my iphone to upgrade to ios 7.0.2 then this message display when i write my Apple ID
    "cannot be used to unlock this iphone" ..
    what can i do to open my iphone ???

    Give this a try (this is normally the proceedure when you want to sell the phone on).
    1st Turn the phone completely off.  Next goto http://icloud.com and log in,
    Next select 'Find My iPhone', select your phone from the dropdown list and select 'Remove Device'.
    Log out of your icloud account, Put phone into DFU mode, Restore phone and set up as a new iphone.
    Following the above proceedure will remove the activation lock
    Hope this helps

    Hogwash, as such is impossible.
    Doesn't matter though, as you won't be able to use this phone, & Apple can't/won't help you.

  • Incorrect apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    Having a bit of a mare tonight. I have tried to restore from backup on my iMac to my girlfriends iPhone 5, I made the back up last night, and also backed up to iCloud  last night using her apple id and password. Now according to Apples advice, if iTunes says there is not enough space to restore, go to iPhone and delete all content and settings etc. I did this it asked for iCloud login details etc and I deleted all content, when I plugged in to iTunes to retrieve the previous backup, I cannot get past the activation lock because of password. I can login to iCloud OK, (the same ID used to back up to iCloud last night!) with password but it won't accept it. This is so stupid I don't know where to start, the phone is now completely bricked, and can't even be activated yet alone restored.
    She has had this phone from new but iCloud has always been a mess on this phone since iOS 7.
    Any ideas??

    From iTunes
    This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s●●●●●@t●●●●●.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

    If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)
